The correct answer is: All of the above.
Assam has the potential to develop industries based on all of the following minerals: glass, ceramics, and cement.
- Glass is a hard, brittle, transparent or translucent solid that is typically made from silica sand. It is used in a wide variety of products, including windows, bottles, and optical lenses. Assam has a number of deposits of silica sand, which is the main raw material used in glassmaking.
- Ceramics are non-metallic, inorganic materials that are made from clay and other minerals. They are used in a wide variety of products, including pottery, bricks, and tiles. Assam has a number of deposits of clay, which is the main raw material used in ceramics manufacturing.
- Cement is a binding agent that is used to hold together aggregates (such as sand and gravel) to form concrete. It is made from limestone, clay, and sand. Assam has a number of deposits of limestone, which is the main raw material used in cement production.
The development of industries based on these minerals would have a number of benefits for Assam. It would create jobs, generate revenue, and boost the economy. It would also help to reduce the state’s reliance on agriculture and improve its self-sufficiency.
